(54) Valve drive system for engine


(57) Object : To provide a valve system for an engine, including a valve resting mechanism, which is provided between an engine valve and a valve lifter supported by a cylinder head in order to turn the engine valve into a resting state, characterized by facilitating the work of assembling the valve resting mechanism.
Solving Means : A pin holder 74 includes a sliding hole 80 having the axial line perpendicular to the axial line of a valve lifter 711 and an insertion hole 81 for allowing a valve stem 59 to pass therethrough. The pin holder 74 is slidably fitted in the valve lifter 711. A slide pin 76 is slidably fitted in the sliding hole 80 with a hydraulic force and a spring force applied to both ends of the slide pin 76. A containing hole 87 coaxially connectable to the insertion hole 81 is provided in the slide pin 76. A rotation stopping means 78 for stopping the rotation of the slide pin 75 around its axial line is provided between the pin holder 74 and the slide pin 76.
